Directions:
- Take sausage out of skin, break apart in chunks, and put in a little bit of water to brown just a bit
- Add ground beef, garlic, onion, and carrot (an put onion, garlic, and carrot in a blender). Simmer till cooked.
- Add tomatoes, paste, parsley, oregano, basil, fennel, salt and pepper, and sugar. Add 3 tomato paste cans of water for each can of paste you add.
- If tastes a bit bitter, can add a couple of teaspoons of baking soda. This removes some of the acid in the tomatoes.
- Cook slowly for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Adjust taste. If needs more fennel or basil, add a little bit at a time.
You could probably use a sauce like Prego meat sauce and a can of crushed tomatoes (1 jar Prego to 1 can crushed tomatoes) and add to this the garlic, parsley, basil, fennel, and maybe sugar. It’s the fennel that gives the sauce more of the taste you would expect from lasagna. |
